Relax @Näkki, it's great to hear you enjoyed the game. My personal expectations were just a bit different when I read the Steam page, although the various trailers should have been a warning that stealth maybe wasn't the biggest priority of the devs. From the Steam page: "Weird west legends meet eldritch horror in BLOOD WEST, an immersive stealth FPS." Also "Blood West is a stealth FPS inspired by the genre classics such as the Thief series (whose fans will be happy to hear the voice of Stephen Russell, the actor voicing the master-thief Garrett, returning here as the protagonist), S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, or - from the contemporary catalog - Hunt: Showdown. The gameplay rewards the careful approach: scouting the area, stalking your enemies, and striking from the shadows. Can you figure out a way to clear a fort full of ghouls and monsters without raising an alarm?" From my personal experience I think the game is predominantly Hunt: Showdown, a bit of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and a very small portion Thief. Stealth is very unforgiving and makes it almost impossible early game when there are various enemies around, but hey maybe I just suck at it. I don't see Deus Ex in it, unless the skill leveling is the Deus Ex part for you and then I have to disagree with you, as that seems like the trait system in Hunt: Showdown. Edit: What I also understood from the Steam forums is that the original VA was dropped close before the release of the full version and replaced by Russell with no real explanation from the devs why this was done.

So, if I understand you, no Thief Gold FM does sound and text notifications of completed objectives? The missions in The Black Parade surely did. I'm completely confused now. I was sure that original Thief Gold had those objective complete notifications (at least the sound). Reading this thread suggests otherwise though: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=132977

Worms Revolution free on GOG: https://www.gog.com/de/game/worms_revolution

Greetings everyone! I recently got into TDM and am already having a lot of fun playing through and ghosting missions. However, coming from Thief, I am mostly relying on the rules and my experience with that game, while there are clearly differences in how TDM works. Right now, there is talk in the ghosting discussion thread on TTLG to amend the ruleset and include clarifications pertaining to TDM. So I wanted to drop by and ask: is there an active TDM ghosting community already and have any rules for this playstyle been developed? I would also like to ask someone to take a look at the draft of this addendum to see whether everything looks correct: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148487&page=16&p=2473352&viewfull=1#post2473352 Thanks!

GOG has a nice freebie today: https://www.gog.com/de/game/broken_sword_directors_cut Can recommend that game, nice classic adventure. I played it through not long ago.

A Problem Arises I've paused subtitling of the Lady02 vocal set, because of a problem with the voice clips described here: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/21741-subtitles-possibilities-beyond-211/&do=findComment&comment=490151 While a way forward is being determined, I'll work on a different vocal set. Maybe manbeast, for which Kingsal just provided me the voice script.

Of course, it is one of the reasons for the decline of online forums, since the advent of mobile phones. Forums on a mobile are a pain in the ass, but on the other hand, for certain things there are no real alternatives to forums, social networks cannot be with their sequential threads, where it is almost impossible to retrieve answers to a question that is asked. has done days ago. For devs for internal communication, the only thing offered is a collaborative app, such as System D (not to be confused with systemd). FOSS, free and anonymous registration, access further members only by invitation, full encrypted and private. https://www.system-d.org

IDK about GOG, but my understanding is that Epic Games Store is not profitable, and isn't expected to be before 2027. https://www.pcgamer.com/epic-has-sunk-dollar500m-into-the-epic-games-store-doesnt-expect-to-make-a-profit-until-2027/ But they have made so much money from Fortnite that they can afford to take the hits in order to establish themselves as at least the industry's #2 behind Steam. I find GOG to be the most "trustworthy" platform with some exceptions, and Steam to be the most interesting/useful with their huge support for Linux gaming via Proton/WINE contributions and the Steam Deck.

Thank you for your comment. You triggered my interest in the topic. Indeed GOG has the most generous refund policy, concerning video game stores. It turns out that the second best place for refunds is only the Uplay refund policy that is - 14 days and no apparent 2 hour maximum limit to play the game like Steam and the Epic Games Store. The 14 days minimum limit for refunds is actually EU directives at play. https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/consumers/shopping/guarantees-returns/index_en.htm Thankfully other non EU companies also follow these rules. Still, doubling that time limit on behalf of GOG is always welcome. It's just expanding on a minimum of rules that exist already, independently of these companies' interests. An intelligent guess would be that companies with their HQ in the EU, are more likely to strictly follow and enforce the 14 days rule. So, Uplay and GOG seem to be the best place to expect a refund from. The most draconic, twisted play on these rules that I've seen is on Origin where you can make a refund request within 24 hours after you first launch the game. Or, 14 days from the day you bought it, if you have not launched the game. Lastly there are the companies that are loose on the 14 days rule, without this time limit being strictly enforceable - Xbox store and Play Station store. That means that every decision to refund, depends on time played. So, the 14 days rule isn't set in stone if you played 100 hours for example. Sadly, Blizzard's Battle.net doesn't have any precise rules on refunds at all. In the end, it was only common sense to extend more generous rules on refunds to consoles. But I don't see how 1 week, is, somehow, enough for all interested people to obtain that refund. I'm sure that most people don't even know a refund exists. Let alone on these favorable conditions. Tbh considering the scale of the lack of communication, CDPR ought to make the code open source or something. Maybe that can help fix the game faster with the help of die hard fans. Digging deeper in history, it is not difficult to see how GOG's financial troubles caused them to rush Cyberpunk 2077 too. But I wonder if fans will buy that excuse in the long run: https://kotaku.com/facing-financial-pressures-gog-quietly-lays-off-at-lea-1832879826 https://support.gog.com/hc/en-us/articles/212184409-What-is-the-Fair-Price-Package-?product=gog

Body awareness please. https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/20013-are-you-gonna-add-this/

I loved it. Awesome game. I faceplanted at the people who asked for quest markers in the Steam forums there... Herr, lass Hirn regnen. The game is so great, and so true to the original, because it doesn't hold your hand. When is the new breed of gamers gonna learn.

I tried to play a copy from GOG, and I was unable to lockpick the first door in the tutorial, so, game over. I think I need to throw some patches at it.

Grab Jazz Jackrabbit 2 before Nov 3, 9 AM EDT. https://www.gog.com/giveaway/claim https://www.gog.com/en/game/jazz_jackrabbit_2_collection Pretty nostalgic because I remember watching the trailer for this game... over 20 years ago, included on a disc for Railroad Tycoon II. It's also an early game from the company now known as Epic Games... shouldn't they be the ones giving it away for free?

So giving it none of those tags, but making the AI invisible, silent, non-solid, and on a team neutral to everyone would not work? Oh well, it was a horrible inelegant idea anyway.

Thanks, I can also recommend gog galaxy. The idea of the custom tags is really nice, I'll have to try this out too!
